Student Loan Forbearance—Forever? - https://www.wsj.com/articles/student-loan-forbearance-forever-debt-cancelation-biden-administration-11649281570?mod =hp_opin_pos_1
"President Biden has used the pandemic to justify doing by fiat what he can’t pass through Congress, including his eviction moratorium and vaccine mandate. Now his Administration is effectively canceling student debt on the installment plan.
That’s the import of the Administration’s announcement Wednesday that it is again extending the pause on student loan payments and interest accrual, this time through August. Mr. Biden said the economy is stronger than ever and the country can safely “return to more normal routines,” but student borrowers apparently still aren’t ready to return to making normal loan payments."

Megyn Kelly looks like a clown as she mocks the student loan forgiveness program and college students who are drowning in debt. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Megyn Kelly Is Throwing A Tantrum Over Student Loan Forgiveness: ‘These Snot Nose Kids Today’ - https://uproxx.com/viral/megyn-kelly-student-loan-forgiveness-aoc-biden/ "With masking no longer an issue for Megyn Kelly to rail against — They hide her beautiful, flawless skin she spent years perfecting, and clearly, that’s what’s important during a pandemic. — the conservative turned her attention to the right’s favorite bogeyman: Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. During Monday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the disgraced former NBC host went on a tear against AOC’s recent push for President Joe Biden to pass sweeping student loan forgiveness via executive order. (Note: Today, Biden did postpone the restart of payments again through the end of August.) Kelly, like most conservatives, is against forgiving student loans, particularly if going to college does nothing but turn out “snot nose” elitists who hate America. (An interesting description considering Kelly’s own father was a college professor.) The former Fox News personality also played the “when I was your age” card by explaining how her family struggled to pay for college educations for her brothers and sisters, yet they still repaid their debts." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

John Lewis and other demonstrators. The bridge is considered one of the most significant landmarks in the nation’s civil rights history." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) publicly sounded the death knell for President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), his fellow holdout, is privately concurring, Axios has learned. Why it matters: In closed-door conversations, Sinema has told donors a path to revival is unlikely. That's dampened expectations Congress will act on a slimmed-down bill before Memorial Day. It also means any revived BBB legislation faces an arduous route back to the center of the Senate agenda." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

As the founding fathers said, it was the necessary evil upon which the union was built, but the union was built in a way, as Lincoln said, to put slavery on the course to its ultimate extinction,” Cotton told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in an article that was published on Sunday." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
